WORK!  This is one word that rarely brings a smile to a face.  Students would rather play than settle down to work. Employees ache for breaks and the end of the day. Housewives groan at the dishes and dirty laundry. CEOs cringe when their phone rings one more time.  This is not always the case of course - but this is a reality for many.

Humanity's purpose is to work.  For those who ascribe to the authenticity of the Bible, work was instituted from the first moments of Adam's existence in the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 2:15 "The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it."

However, work did not become hard for us until sin set in. As part of the Adamic curse, humans would only eat if they worked, and that work would be hard.

Genesis 3:19 "By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Knowing what moves you. Being aware of your passion.  Finding your purpose. These things require WORK!  When you know what your passion is, and you pursue it, I promise you, your work burden drops 100 fold, to the point where what you are doing may not even feel like work anymore.

I challenge you to dream your WHAT IF?  However, there is a healthy way to do it, that will move you to action.  I share that with you here.  I challenge you to pursue your WHAT IF!
